I'd recommend you take off the crankcase cover and look how much sediment is in the bottom of the oil sump. After changing oil several times on my 51 B (after I purchased it) the oil was always so black and gritty. I took off the crankcase cover and found the oil pump at the bottom buried in sediment. Best way to clean it all out is drop the complete oil pump out of the bottom then you have a big hole to flush out all the sludge.

DON'T HAVE NO FACTS TO ADD,BUT THOUGHT I'D ADD THIS QUESTION TOO.AN OLD WAY WE USED TO "CLEAN AN ENGINE INTERNALLY" TO CLEAR OUT CARBON WAS TO POUR ABOUT A POP BOTTLE FULL OF WATER THRU CARB WITH ENGINE ON A HIGH IDLE.THEORY WAS THE STEAM WOULD BREAK UP THE CARBON. HAVEN'T DONE IT IN 20 YEARS.JUST WANDERING IF ANYONE ELSE EVER DID IT,AND THOUGHTS ON IT? P.S.I'M NOT RECCOMENDING THIS. DAN

Dan:

I use the water method all the time, and it's really effective for cleaning the ash out of catalytic converters. As far as cleaning the engine goes, in my 70 Diesel book, it was recommended, at oil change interval, to drain the oil, re-fill with diesel fuel or distillate, run at fast idle for 5 minutes, drain, replace filter, replace with clean engine oil.

It sure kept that 70 clean !

The majority of my engines have run gone much farther between overhauls than the "book" expected ('88 Plymouth minivan V-6 now at 253,000 original valve cover gaskets for exam.), and I have always, at oil change time, added 1 qt of diesel fuel, drive it down the road for about five minutes (but don't really "get on it"), drain and re-fill. It really seems to get that last bit of crud loose. But be careful if you try this with an already caked up motor, 'cause you will most certainly will clog it up at the oil pump screen !

My 2c.

I ve heard the water trick before and don t see any real problem with it; just a very primitve water injection. The big 800-1000 hp super stocks use this to make more hp and to keep the cylinders cooler. As far as engine cleaner I assume you are talking about oil additives? If the tractor has been runnning on nondetergent oil for 50 years and has not been torn down recently(complete rebuild) then there is lots of dirt and gunk in the engine. My opinion is leave it where it is. If you add a cleaner who knows where it may end up. After a complete rebuild you can run regular detergant oil and use any/all of those magical hp enhancing additives as you can afford. Just my opinion and what has been told to me people smarter about this than I. Mike
